Whether through higher earnings for migrants,\naccess to labor for receiving countries, or remittances for sending communities, migration has\nbeen an important driver of development in the Mediterranean region. The COVID-19 (coronavirus)\npandemic has severely disrupted this complex web of movements, raising questions about whether\nmigration will continue to be an important driver of the region’s well-being. As time passed, it\nbecame clear that the drivers of migration are so strong that mobility restrictions can only reduce\nmovements, not halt them entirely.\n\nBuilding Resilient Migration Systems in the Mediterranean Region: Lessons from COVID-19 presents\nevidence on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on mobility in the region to inform policy\nresponses that can help countries restart migration safely and better respond to future shocks.\nWhile some of the challenges that emerged during the pandemic are specific to public health\ncrises, others are common to different types of shocks, including those related to economic,\nconflict, or climate-related factors. To inform this reform process, this book suggests a set of\nactions that can help Mediterranean countries to maximize the benefits of migration for all people\nliving in the region, while at the same time ensuring the sustainability of migration flows. As a\nwhole, these proposed policy actions point to a vision of migration resilience that, even during\ncrises, can address key labor shortages, keep both migrant and native populations safer, sustain\nhousehold incomes, and ameliorate blows to economic growth.\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has created momentum for policy reforms. Whether this crisis can\nilluminate the way toward better adapting migration systems to future crises will depend on\nlearning its lessons.","brand":"World Bank Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46511226257663,"sku":"9781464818554","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_b23ed8db-2941-4d3e-90b3-bf25a925cad9.jpg?v=1738950967","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781464818554","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
